Re: Question about vgstorm games. Philip, thanks for chiming in. I respect your point of view, I really do. Some games rely on this sort of thing far more than Manamon does.Nidsa, Mathmon is not essential to game progress, and I'd venture that the game has far bigger issues than this one

Re: Question about vgstorm games. Before you say somebody is wrong, you should keep in mind that sapi still speaks combat damages in AHC. So if you do not have a good voice, then you have a problem. Whether you view a game as small or big is irrelevant, I have listed some games depending

Re: Question about vgstorm games. Oh I know they're not the only ones, but I'd wager, at least, that a fair majority of paid games allow for screenreader support.I respect that coding to allow for screenreader use sucks though. That much I hear and I'm not arguing with that part of it. I

Re: Question about vgstorm games. I have used NVDA from the first with AHC, and apart from a few bugs (which were ironed out beautifully, I might add) I've had a lovely experience. Can't complain. I hugely prefer hearing game text spoken by Eloquence at this point. If a game can't do
